UNDERGROUNDING UPDATES!!
The Undergrounding Project Phase II is underway after some lengthy delays. Phase II will be going north
from Golfview Road to County Road. We will be advertising November 29, 2015 for bids to construct Phase
II of the Undergrounding Project with an award expected during the third week in January. Please be patient
and have a clear vision of how beautiful our town will look once the project is complete. Phase I is completed
with exception of the communication (ATT & Comcast) wires, which are in the process of being relocated.
NOTICE OF WATER RATE INCREASE
Beginning with the December — January 2016 billing cycle, water rates will increase 4%. In addition, due to
the anticipated expense of repairing, replacing, and upgrading the existing antiquated water line infrastructure,
the Reserve Fee will increase from $15.00 per month to $30.00 per month per the approved 2015- 2016
budget.
BARRIER ISLAND FIRE DISTRICT FEASIBILITY STUDY
The Barrier Island Fire District Feasibility Study bid was awarded to Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. Once the
feasibility study gets the approval, the consultants will have 90 days to study the towns and report back to the
coalition.
POLICE REMINDER
The Police Department would like to remind all residents that with the approaching holidays, to remember to
remove valuables from cars and lock the doors. Also remember to keep you residences locked as well.
On Behalf of the Town Commission and Staff,
Mayor Scott W. Morgan
